What are the reasons and factors that lead to good deeds being multiplied seven hundred times and more?
The best deeds after the obligatory acts vary according to individuals and circumstances. Among the greatest of these is performing what Allah Almighty has made obligatory, then increasing in acts of worship that have the greatest reward, such as prayer, seeking knowledge, and jihad.
Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah held that constantly engaging in the remembrance of Allah is the best occupation for a servant. Likewise, reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship with great reward, as there are ten good deeds for every letter.
If there is a specific reason that necessitates prioritizing a particular (such as sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, on Friday, responding to the , and the prescribed remembrances after obligatory prayers), then dedicating time to it at that moment is better than reciting the Qur'an.
Whenever a Muslim combines multiple intentions in an act of worship, their reward is greater, for every good intention multiplies the reward.
